Jon McAuliffe – Artist & Musician: “It’s all about practice.” Story and Photo by Robert F. Smith – Editor Jon McAuliffe is one of those people that, when you meet them and get to know them, you wonder if they were given too much talent at the expense of the rest of us. I knew Jon was a talented artist. I’d done an article on a show he’d had at the The Framery Gallery when it was in Bellows Falls a few years ago. But it was only when I went to interview him for this article that I realized I’d met him earlier. Jon is not just a talented painter and illustrator, he’s also a talented musician, and was the lead guitarist and lead singer with Blind Luck Music. Blind Luck Music, from 1998 til it disbanded in 2004, was one of the more successful groups doing original music in the area. When Jon decided to spend a semester in Italy studying art, the group broke up. I was glad to hear that Jon is back doing music in addition to his artwork. But it is his art that he’s focused on, quite successfully, over the past five years or so. “I’ve been really fortunate,” he said. “Business is getting consistently better. About 90 percent of what I do is commission work, portraits and paintings.” Jon said that by keeping his prices really reasonable, and with limited up-front costs, he’s been able to make a living with his artwork. He was also straightforward about how he’s developed his talent, both in art and music. “It’s all about practice,” he said. “Being a musician as well, I understand the work ethic of practicing to get better.” Jon’s artwork and contact information can be found at his website, www.mcauliffe-art.com.

Recreation Director Steve Nelligan said that the grant “will be used to do improvements on the town’s bath house at the pool.” “The bath house has not been upgraded since it was moved to the new pool site in 1967,” Nelligan said. “I have ordered all new water saving toilets, new one piece shower stalls, new exterior doors, all new vinyl windows and new siding.” The interior will also be upgraded with new changing rooms and a new concession stand. “I’ll continue to look for grant funding to keep our facilities updated,” Nelligan said. “ I would also like to thank Julie Hance for her help in writing this and many other grants as well as the families who wrote letters of support to the state for this project.“

Come visit Curves and let them “work every part of you.” Janice Berube, owner of Curves of Bellows Falls, is now offering free weight management classes in order to teach their proven method of not only losing weight and keeping it off, but also raising your metabolism and awareness of nutrition. “We are really excited to be offering these free weight management classes,” Berube stated in a recent interview. “With our program, it really only takes 30 minutes a session to get results. We are sure to make all our members make and re teach goals and take special care of
each individual.” After moving to Vermont with her husband in 1997, Berube joined Curves because of her high cholesterol and severe asthma. She gradually built up her routines to three times a week, while her weight, cholesterol levels and amounts of asthma medication came down. “I was so impressed with the way my health and body were changing I decided to buy the Curves business so I could help more women achieve good health.” Curves is specially designed for women featuring a 30-minute work out and weight management program that is fun and safe. The free classes will be taught by Curves’

Releasing the Burdens with Reiki & Angels Angels would like us to let go of our worry and simply rely on the divine for guidance. The divine will not take away our initiative but will allow us to come to decisions in harmony with our higher self accomplishing our divine purpose on earth for this lifetime. When we let go of our egos (which like to fret and think about all that has gone or will go wrong in our past, present, and future) we experience relief - somewhat similar to the lifting of a 10 ton burden off of our shoulders! The relief we feel is our coming into harmony with our higher self and our becoming the desires we have. Mahatma Ghandi said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." And it doesn't have to be
hard work. We came forth into our lives to be joyful co-creators with the divine. Focusing on the good in our lives gets easier with practice, since we feel joyful when we fill our eyes and our speech with the good. And that's like, well, something sweet to our taste buds, say a Godiva chocolate, or something vibrant to our souls, like a crisp, sparkling, sunny winter day. Lauren Potter is a Reiki Master Teacher Practitioner and conscious channel for angel guides. She teaches Reiki Certification Classes and "Trust the Angels" Workshops in Vermont and on the Maine coast and maintains a Reiki and angel therapy practice in two area office locations.

AARP on How to Protect Yourself from the H1N1 Flu this Season Submitted by Dave Reville, Communications Director, AARP Vermont With the arrival of the novel H1N1 (“swine flu”), many people are understandably confused about how to protect themselves against the flu this year. The heightened media attention to HINI and vaccine availability is only adding to the rising angst. AARP is working with the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases to encourage older Americans to protect themselves and those in their care by getting vaccinated. Experts say that, this year, a seasonal flu vaccination for people 50 and over is as important as ever. Even before novel H1N1 became a threat, flu claimed an average of 36,000 lives and hospitalized more than 200,000 Americans every year. Health authorities have long recommended that people 50 and over get a seasonal flu vaccine each year. Experts also recommend people 65 and older get a pneumococcal vaccination, which they can get at the same time as their seasonal flu vaccination. Pneumococcus is a bacteria that can cause a range of conditions, including pneumococcal pneumonia, blood infection, and meningitis. Young children and people over 65 are the hardest hit. Both pneumococcal and seasonal flu vaccines are available now. Have you gotten yours?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), older Americans are less likely to get sick from novel H1N1, perhaps due to exposure to a similar virus many years ago. However, they are more likely to suffer serious complications – and even death – from seasonal flu. Vaccination is the first line of defense, but good hygiene habits, like frequent hand washing and covering your mouth when you cough are also important. If you get sick, antiviral medications are also available to help treat the flu. “We must not get distracted by H1N1 – we must remember our annual seasonal flu vaccination,” said Dr. Susan J. Rehm, Medical Director of NFID. “Pneumococcal vaccination is also important, and now is a great time to get both vaccines.” Last year in Vermont, 44 percent of adults age 50-64 and 73 percent of adults 65+ got vaccinated for influenza. Just over of 70 percent of adults 65+ received the pneumococcal vaccine last year. To find out where to go in your area, go to www.healthvermont.gov/prevent/flu or call 211 for information. Influenza and pneumococcal vaccines are free for anyone in Medicare and are available now at doctor ’s offices, pharmacies, and health departments in our area. For more information, speak with your healthcare provider or visit www.aarp.org/flu or www.nfid.org.

Arts & Entertainment The Outlook Musician’s Spotlight Shines on GMP – Grieco, Morton & Peters modern groove numbers too, such as my tune "Slipstream", as well as classic covers like "Day Tripper." RFS: Name some of the groups you cover. Los Lobos, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Chris Whitley, The Beatles, The Stones, The Subdudes. We do a Michael Jackson and a Brad Paisley song too, so we're kind of all over the place! RFS: Do you do originals, and if so, who writes? Yes, Jesse writes a lot of our material and a typical set consists of 1/3-1/2 of his tunes. RFS: How would you describe the local music scene? It seems right now that a lot of groups that are not doing your typical covers are still able to play around quite a bit. Do you see that as well? Mark: I think there is a vibrant music scene around here, and that most music lovers are more interested in hearing music that is new to their ears than the same old covers, so in addition to featuring Jesse's songs we tend to play what we like to listen to, much of which is outside the mainstream. Jesse: I agree with Mark. There are a good number of bands and solo acts (article continued on page 13)

When pressed, I will mention that we play a range of styles, from acousticbased pop songs to rockabilly throw-downs to backbeat rock. We have some

photography is unique, bold-yet-delicate and rustic-yet-colorful. "We've been working on this project since 2005," Gautier stated in a recent interview. "We would wait for days when the sun would shine the brightest against an old, chippedruin of a wall underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. “The wall was a short walk down the hill, just outside the River Café. The wall's faded yellow and brick colors had a Mediterranean feel. It was our outdoor, rentfree studio." The exhibit consists of various striking, still life photographs of various kitchen utensils such as a chef's French knife, a long-handled copper pot, a Turkish coffee grinder or an antique espresso cup.

From fancy balls or cotillions to kitchen junkets or "tunks," people of all ages and backgrounds fell victim to the strains of the fiddle upon their souls.

Get In The Game A View On Sports By Editor Joe Milliken
Local Hoops Action In Brattleboro, the Brattleboro High School boys' basketball team recently notched an impressive, 76-30 win over an out-matched Woodstock squad. Despite a 76-point effort, it was the stifling Brattleboro defense that was the key to the victory, consistently trapping Woodstock all
over the court and converting turnovers into easy baskets on the other end. Adam Boyle led the way for the Division I Colonels with 22 points, while teammate Sam Stockwell pitched in with 14 points. Collin Hagenbarth led the way for the Wasps with 12 points, as Woodstock fell to 6-3 on the season. --------------------------In Chester, the Green Mountain Union High School girls hoop squad recently knocked off Poultney, 54-30, at Nason Gym. The win put Green Mountain at 8-2 (at press time) on the season. Senior center Emma
Lisle led the way for the Lady Chieftains with 20 points and 15 rebounds, while sophomore guard McKala Benson pitched in with nine points. -------------------------In Springfield, the Lady Cosmos hoop team recently lost a tough home game to Hartford, 58-44. Springfield hung in there early on, only trailing by eight points at half time, however Stephanie Parker had a big second half to help the Lady Hurricanes prevail. Parker finished with 12 points, while Kayla Perham led the way for Springfield with 15 points.
-------------------------The Bellows Falls Lady Terriers recently traveled to Fair Haven, falling to a very good Lady Slater team, 61-15. Fair Haven featured a balanced attack on offense and implemented jailhouse defense in order to cruise to the 40plus point win. Kala MacKenzie led the way for the Slaters with 14 points, while Devyn Reed and Valerie Sawin pitched in with 13 and 11 points respectively. Caleigh Jones also dominated under the boards with 13 rebounds. Sarah Dumont led the way for Bellows Falls with seven points. --------------------------
The Rutland High Raiders boys' squad recently rallied from a 10point fourth quarter deficit to knock off previously undefeated Mount Anthony, 54-53, at Keefe Gym in Rutland. The Raiders are now 8-3 on the season. Rutland’s Alexander Snyder led the way for the Raiders with 11 points and eight rebounds, including two clutch free throws with just over a minute left in regulation to seal the win. Troy Devine led the Raiders in scoring with 15 points, while Andrew Borkowski pitched in with 10 points and five rebounds.
Mount Anthony's Kyle Callanan led all scorers with 19 points while Clayton Palmer pitched in with 12 points and seven rebounds. -------------------------One And Done In NFL news, the New England Patriots playoff run ended rather quickly this past weekend, after the Ravens came into Foxboro and dominated. The Patriots really needed Randy Moss to show up in this game, but he was once again, a noshow. You heard it here first, Randy Moss has played his last game in a Patriots uniform. He doesn’t show up every week and just did it again.
Cosmos Roll To Win At Bellows Falls Springfield’s Boyle Torches Terriers 58-24 win at Holland Gym in Westminster. Cosmos senior point guard Brandon Boyle took this game over early and was all over the

Story and photos by Joe Milliken - Sports Editor The Springfield High School boys’ basketball team recently traveled to take on rival Bellows Falls, easily cruising to a
court, not only scoring the first 10 points of the game, but also playing tenacious defense which turned into steals and easy lay ups on the other end. In fact, after one quarter Boyle at 13 points as the Cosmos raced out to a 17-0 lead, which built to a 36-3 lead by half time. Springfield had dominated in every way possible. However to the Terriers’ credit they did not lay down, coming out in the second half with much more passion and hustle under the basket, holding Springfield to 10 points in the quarter while scoring eight of their own. However it would not nearly be enough as the Cosmos emptied their bench while maintaining a 30-plus lead the rest of the way. Boyle led all scorers with 30 points (plus a handful of both assists and steals), while Jeremy Kilburn led the way for the Terriers with 12 points. --------------------------In an exciting JV game, the Terriers came back from a 10-point deficit in the final six minutes to pull out a 44-43 win. BF sophomore Michael Hall led the way for the Junior Terriers with 15 points and doublefigures in rebounds, including the gamewinning free throw with just 0.6 showing on the clock.
Above, Cosmos senior Brandon Boyle glides in for a lay up after making a steal in the back court.
